Excelsior Water Crackers are a true cult product and have been an integral part of Jamaican cuisine for over 100 years. Their special taste and robust, crispy texture make them unique and unmistakable. In Jamaica, they are a natural part of breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and are loved across generations.
Excelsior Water Crackers in Jamaican Cuisine
In traditional Jamaican cuisine, Excelsior Water Crackers are used in a variety of ways. They serve as a base for Ackee and Saltfish, are served with steamed fish and okra, or combined with callaloo and avocado. Classics such as Solomon Gundy, sardines, mackerel, or Bully Beef are also preferably eaten with these crackers. Their firm texture makes them perfect for absorbing sauces and flavors without immediately becoming soft.
Versatile from savory to sweet
In addition to savory dishes, Excelsior Water Crackers are also a true classic when served sweet. Many Jamaicans dip them in hot tea, coffee, Milo, or cocoa. Crumbled or soaked, they are eaten in porridge or directly in milk, replacing classic breakfast cereals. They are also a popular snack with jam, especially sorrel jam.
